I unironically love woke patriotism, I love appropriating the things chuds care about and turning them against them. Why should they get to own America, they're the ones who suck

Get the feeling that a lot of American leftists are really annoyed (or completely unaware) that South African apartheid was ended at a boring negotiating table and not in a gloriously bloody revolution

I cannot stress enough how much better it would be for the Palestinian cause to simply say nothing at all about this movie rather than to be seen publicly endorsing the Munich massacre
Nearly 1,000 sign petition demanding Brooklynβs Alamo Drafthouse stop showing the film βSept 5β about the 1972 Munich massacre because itβs βZionist propagandaβ and characters refer to Black September attackers as βterroristsβ

Black September is a known terror organization.

My great-grandfather fled from Poland to Palestine; the rest of his family who stayed behind in Poland were all killed. I am not Polish. I am not "from" Poland. I have never been to Poland, and if I went for the first time it wouldn't be going "back"

The Substance understands that the key to a great genre movie is making it totally unclear what decade it's supposed to be. They have smartphones but also aerobics shows are big like it's the 80s and New Year's variety shows are important like it's the 50s

Where did people get this idea that Gal Gadot is like some raging Kahanist who's enraged by No Other Land? The few times she's publicly expressed politics they've all been mildly lib 2-stater, she's just the only Israeli celeb so you treat her as a stand-in for the whole country

But the truth is that except for filming it, IDF soldiers have indeed done things just like that, there have been plenty of massacres of Palestinian civilians by Israeli troops in our history. We'll never get anywhere if we keep being naive about who we are and what we've done

None of the bozos doing this bit ever bother to specify what Polish culture we follow. Is it that we speak Polish, eat sausage and drink vodka, dance to polka, wear those folk costumes? We don't do any of that, and not because we're LARPing: we didn't when we lived there either!

No group of people in the world "has no culture" because that would mean that they don't eat food, wear clothes, speak a language, use objects, or have any interpersonal interactions or relationships. It's not a possible claim about anyone

A belief I have subzero respect for is "umm actually Arabs are the colonizers occupying indigenous Judea". Like no you don't really believe that, you started saying it as a playground level "I know you are but what am I" dunk and memed yourself into believing it out of pure spite

Well yeah if winning a war requires you to starve millions of civilians then you are not in fact allowed to win that war, why would you be
Israel is the only country that is not allowed to win a war.
Jews are the only people on the planet who are not allowed to defend themselves after attack.

1. "Intifada just means struggle!" is obviously a disingenuous defense, you know why you're using that specific Arabic word in English, it's to reference the historic Palestinian intifadas
2. Most people who say "globalize the intifada" aren't doing it to call for attacks on Jews

Predictably horrifying responses but one of the stupidest running themes is decrying "normalization" as if freeing Palestine is just a matter of reciting the right magic words and Israel will just go away if you stop believing in it. Tinkerbell theory of politics
Every life taken in the past yearβPalestinian, Israeli, Lebaneseβevery parent, child, grandchild killed was someone elseβs entire world. At Jewish Voice for Peace our commitment to Palestinian liberation is grounded in our belief that every human must have the right to live in safety and freedom.

Certainly not saying it's *not* racist, but this is stripped of context, it's part 2 of a series with this one. The point is that it's comparing the treatment of Russian immigrants to Israel with the antisemitic treatment of Jews in the USSR

To preempt more stupid QTs: no, it wasn't all nice and peaceful, but the goal of what violence there was was a negotiated agreement to share power, not to outright violently overthrow the old regime. If that's what you want for I/P too then great, I'm not talking about you

Quibbling about the evidence is one thing but all the Israelis and Jews in the comments rejecting out of hand any possibility that Israeli soldiers would ever do such a thing is exactly why I believe we would. We can't stop what we refuse to admit or believe is happening at all

If you ever cared about the Bibas family, if you were sincere when you mourned their murders, if you've ever worn an orange ribbon or posted an orange heart, you have an absolute moral obligation to listen to Yarden Bibas right now when he says to stop the war and resume the deal
This is what Yarden Bibas, husband of Shiri, father of Kfir and Ariel, wrote today on his Facebook page, after Netanyahu's decision to renew the war.
I hope all the Jewish organizations that posted online endlessly with images of this family, will honor his words and take action.

One reason why it's hard to take the Mamdani antisemitism accusations seriously is because so so much of the rhetoric is itself explicitly Islamophobic. Do you actually believe that discrimination and prejudice are bad, or just that Group A deserves it instead of Group B?

Once again they desperately need for Israel to be a floating outpost of rootless cosmopolitans rather than a real nation-state, because admitting otherwise would correctly imply that a Palestinian total victory in which Israel and Israeliness are fully erased is impossible

From anti-BDS laws to this, I am totally baffled that so many American Zionists seem to think it would help Israel or Jews to create the impression that Israel controls what you are and aren't allowed to say in the US
